I enjoyed reading everyone's experiences, so I thought I'd post mine. I started the robe quest on a Tuesday with camping Raster in Lguk, I had been hunting in Lguk since lvl 35 and now at 49 decided to start the epic. Raster was a 2 1/2 hour camp, killed everything in sight, was told by a 52 Monk that had his epic to forget the formula because it didn't work for him. Well after a couple of hours killing the PH, and a evil eye (nice new bag btw), Raster pop'd and took him out fairly easy.
Then I moved my camp to SolB to begin the hunt for Targin, it took 2 days off and on trying him as it was a popular camp, after about 3 hours he finally pop'd when I was just getting ready to give up. (Got lucky there)
I then went to the bazaar and bought everything for the sash quest, created a newbie monk and had him turn it all in, bam the red sash quest took 45 min. Then went back to Bazaar and bought what I needed for purple headband quest, only thing that wasn't there was the head of the gnoll shaman, so it was off to SK. The SK camp was easy, about 25 min and the gnoll pop'd and it was off with his head, had my druid (on another box)port me up to the PoK and then down to Qeynos. Made another monk had him turn everything in, but I never recieved credit for turning in the gnoll head, so I petition'd and well no answer after an hour, so I checked the bazaar and one was for sell (lucky again), back to Qeynos to try again, turned the head in and got the purple headband. Whew!!!
All was going to well for me I guess, so something had to go wrong. I spent 4 hours waiting for Brother Quinn to spawn (the one guy who is always up, wasn't), So I FD in a place he usually passes and sent my druid to Rathe to look for Zeph, well that little gnoll dude Hasten was up so he killed him 4 times with no luck of spawning Zeph, by this time I was going to bed.
A couple of days passed with no Zeph, kinda forgot about Quinn, figured it was just a spot of bad luck and focus'd on Zeph for awhile. Well I was running my druid through SK to meet up with my Monk to continue the hunt for Zeph and lord and behold Quinn was up at in Sk, so I logged Monk on with the Druid hailing Quinn to hold him in place, turning in Code and headband got my needle and went back to Rathe.
I then got in position for Zeph in Rathe and expected a long camp, soon as I sat down Zeph fell from the sky right on top of me and took off running,I was so shocked he got a fair clip ahead of me before I could catch up, finally caught him as he pauses everytime he changes direction and I got in front of him, and 'hailed' him like crazy 'til he stopped, with my pattern and needle in hand I went to bazaar to buy the pelt, stopping off and the library to get the "Gather Shadows" spell and the "War Song" spell and did my combines - and now I have my Robe.
So from Tuesday to Sunday, with a total of 18-20 hours I was able to get the robe and all the mini-quests done from start to finish.
